AussieInBgFebruary 2022 From American English speakers I’ve known and other contexts, the collocation ”hard neighborhood” has always pretty much had the meaning of a poor + dangerous neighbourhood.
I guess that there is a regional spectrum of definition, as does exist with many expressions in American English.
AussieInBgJanuary 2022 ”a hard neighborhood” is an American English expression to describe a neighbourhood which is generally poor and with high rates of crime and violence. You can easily see here that ”hard” in this phrase is an adjective. |
